Ok, but I'm still not sure what exactly you're asking me... how syntactic parallelism relates to the idea that you can say, essentially, the same thing in multiple ways?

I said paralellism aside. It's ok. You said you hadn't read Chomsky. I've only read lightly on the concept. I thought you might know more about it so I asked. It doesn't matter Morph.You might like to read Terms of Madness instead and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the recommendation. I wish I could could comment, because I do find linguistic philosophy fascinating, but like most everything I find fascinating my brain tends to glaze over when it gets outside of the context of aesthetics. It's like... I think Lacan was a nut, but dag-nabbit if Lacanian interpretations of films and poetry aren't delicious!![]()
